In a couple of hours, I'll be driving down I-80 on my way to Chicago. To visit UIC. To hang out with Brandi, Simone, maybe Daniela (I hope!), and who knows who else. Will I get to meet Kristy again?
There's a very good likelyhood that I'll be living there in the next few months, so I'm going to try out this public transportation thing and see how it goes. I can't make a final decision just yet, but nearly everyone I talk to about my PhD decision is telling me to go to UIC. Everyone's all "Small town girls should move to the city" and "There are so many poets in Chicago! Community!" But my gut says I won't be happy in an urban environment. My gut doesn't really know anything though, and I haven't spent enough time in Chicago to make any kind of judgement at this point. So, maybe, by the time I'm driving home on Saturday, I'll know. Cross your fingers for me.
Akron, I'm going to miss you.

I must have missed something. I don't even know what your other choices are. What are they?
As for needing the city, I hink that's a crappy reason if that's the basis of your choice. Nobody HAS TO live in the city.
Dude, I'll let you root for the Bears, but just not the Bulls, okay? Please? I know, it doesn't really matter to you, but it does to me :)
